The Isle of Wight in the English Channel is England's largest island, separated from the mainland by the Solent but easily and quickly accessible from the south coast. Designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the mild climate and slower pace of life has long attracted holiday-makers and curious walkers who come to explore the island's rolling chalkland hills, peaceful woodland paths and sandy beaches and coves.

The 40 walks in this volume make the most of the island's well-maintained trails - which include some of the most celebrated clifftop walks in southern England - as well as many lesser-known gems waiting to be discovered on this Treasure Island.
